I have permission to press pause. Press play. And to press pause as many times as needed.

I have permission to feel overwhelmed. I have permission to feel.

Most importantly, I give myself permission to pray.

I have permission to be. Right here. Right now.

Give yourself permission to not be ok. Give yourself permission to be…just as you are…right here. Right now.

There is something magical about giving ourselves permission to be authentic, to be ourselves.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

These are such beautiful, poetic thoughts! I am so thankful that the Mercy of our Lord is so deep that He calls from us the truth of where we need that pause and refresh! His Grace right there is so sufficient! I am blessed to be your neighbor over at #LiveFreeThursday this week!
